 Nowadays it is not only large companies that can make films. Digital technology enables anyone to produce films. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

It is undeniable fact that the world has witnessed revolutionary inventions in terms of science and technology with distinct modes of watching films being most prominent. It is often argued that in modern era, owing to unexpected progress in science and technology any individual can produce films irrespective of bygone era when cinematography was exclusive to large companies. However, it is constructive as well as destructive trend. 

Apparently, anyone capable of making films holds wide range of constructive benefits. Firstly,  not only it provides employment as people need a team to produce films so many freelancers get jobs ,but also it can create a competitive market where filmmakers have to increase their film quality on an unprecedented scale. Secondly, unlike the bygone days, in the modern era, some makers often make documentary films about daily topics which fascinate a large number of young fans which leads to the film retail become busier. Thus, they develop their innovation in every product to meet the entertainment need of viewers. For example, according to BBC research it is revealed that films made by potential filmmakers, albeit amateur, transcend barriers of ethnicities and backgrounds.

Nevertheless, it entails myriad detrimental effects. Chiefly, if anyone is allowed to make films, there can be some products with the low quality as some individuals focus on the exponential benefits despite art. Thus, they are ready to make sexual or violent films to find fame and fortune. For instance, according to Forbes magazine it is revealed that paradigm shift has been witnessed in the behaviour of younglings after watching criminal based shows on Netflix. Furthermore, to cut costs, movies are made with bad acting, clumsily dialogue and poor overall production values even many films do not ensure safety of actors.

To recapitulate, although easy to access filming technology adds spice to the film industry and promotes aspiring individuals wishing to pursue professional film careers yet it’s darker side can not be ignored.
